Hi all,
I’ve been having some trouble with my Garmin cadence sensor 2 and I hope you can help.
My current setup is a dumb trainer with the garmin speed 2 and cadence 2 sensors, and zwift on an iPhone 8+ which is updated to the most resent iOS. This set up has had no issues, with my last successful ride being 4 days ago (30th of august).
Unfortunately, yesterday and today my training sessions turned into troubleshooting sessions as my cadence sensor would connect to zwift, but wouldn’t register any movement (rpm stayed at 0 despite peddling). My speed would fluctuate as the back wheel spun, but nothing from the pedals.
When trying to connect the sensors, I’ll open the ‘speed sensor’ window, and as soon as the speed sensor is registered, it automatically selects the speed sensor and assigns it to both the speed and cadence sensors. I then manually select ‘cadence sensor’ and select the cadence sensor.
I feel like I’ve tried it all. The batteries are ok and when connected to my Garmin watch, they work fine (was registering cadence); I’ve tried turning my phone off and on again, as well as reinstalling the app; I’ve tried using them while the speed and cadence sensors were paired as Bluetooth devises on my phone, and then forgotten; I’ve tried using them while registered and unregistered on the Garmin app; there’s no significant electromagnetic disruptions around my setup; and in desperation, I even tried assigning the speed sensor as my cadence sensor.
When connecting the sensors to my wife’s phone, they connected just fine and was registering cadence:
The process to connect the sensors was identical to when using my phone. Interestingly I noticed that the cadence sensor seems to have a different number at the end of its serial number (176 instead of 92). Why might this be the case?
If you have any insight as to what the problem might be, I’d be greatly appreciative.
Regards,
Ben
